Carman asked him to elaborate. Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 and beat they the Cavs in the NBA Finals the last two seasons.

"You hopped onto a 73-9 team and he took the easy way out in my mind," Garrett said. "It's different when LeBron left. He went to [Miami to join] Wade and Bosh but it wasn't something that was already guaranteed, something you already knew was going to have immediate success. [James] had to gel and work things into place.

"With KD, you just stick him in and he scores. You already knew what they had. They were 73-9 before and you put the second-best player in the world on an already all-time great team and of course you're going to have success, pretty easy success. Anyone can have an off night and they can still find a way to win."

Myles Garrett is actually a complete idiot so it doesn't surprise me when he has stupid takes.

What else has he said lol. I want to like him because I'm a Browns bandwagon fan and his talent is ridiculous but now he's firing shots so this is awkward.

ALM/BlueLM guy, did the full "if black people came out for voting like they did for black panther!" thing, the whole nine.

Don't let that stop you from supporting Tyrod/Mayfield tho. Browns bouta be nasty.

Nah I'm fully on board even if Garrett is a dumb kid. Hopefully these awful opinions are just a phase. Tyrod is easy to root for. Baker is that dude. Gordon is the best redemption story going in sports. Jarvis is cool. Njoku is likely from another planet. Duke is great. Defense is less fun to talk about but with Garrett as the cornerstone they are only a couple of pieces away from being competent on that side as well.

More excited to watch Browns games than I am Raiders games this season

That's what I'm saying. You should have a good time watching them and it's a few dumb opinions from one dude, no harm no foul but maaaan he's gonna be slipping in these bad takes throughout his time there, lol.

It did really fuck with the competitive balance of the league when arguably its 2nd best player joined a 73 win team. Its hard to argue otherwise when they've won two titles and lost a combined 6 playoffs games since he arrived.

What in the world is he talking about? As if LeBron struggled anymore adjusting on the heat than KD did with the Warriors. Everyone knew DAMN WELL that when LeBron (best in the NBA), Wade (top 5 ) and Bosh (top 10) hooked up, that it was going to work out well. I think KD joining the Warriors ruined the league too but lets not act like LeBron didn't do the same thing.

We'll want to bookmark the link to this story for future reference. Garrett plays for one of the three worst-run franchises in North American pro sports, so soon enough, he'll be gladly taking less money to join the Patriots in free agency.

Disagree. Durant has every right to do what he did, but we also have every right to complain as it degraded the game.

We've gone from Durant "broke basketball" to he "degraded the game", and that's really too bad. We're alive to witness the most explosive offense in league history and one of the five greatest teams of all-time, and we can't appreciate it the way we should.

Can't help but think this has to do with LeBron having a more difficult time winning a ring now, like if it was LeBron that did this exact same thing, joining the Warriors after 2016 (let's say the Cavs also lost in 7) the people bitching about KD now would be on the defensive in regards to LeBron. Whatever it takes to make LeBron the GOAT I guess, a title that still belongs to Jordan for at least another decade.

What Durant did in 2016 is worse but not much worse than what LeBron did in 2011, it was certainly presented better as he never did something like the Decision or the "not 1, not 2,..." bullshit that LeBron did, for what that's worth.

LeBron is the best player in the league, Durant isn't as far off as people think. He's won 2 straight titles and absolutely deserved winning Finals MVP. He keeps on winning and eventually people will have to respect him as one of the 10-12 greatest players ever. He's yet to have the same hate as 2010-2011 LeBron, the worst year for a superstar in terms of legacy, so no reason to think Durant won't be loved one day.
